Ouachita Trail | Day 1 

I was invited along by my friend Eli of ‪@TheAdventuresofEli‬ on his thru hike attempt of the Ouachita Recreational Trail in March of 2024. This is day one of that hike.
The 223-mile Ouachita (pronounced “Wash-i-tah”) Trail is a National Recreation Trail that runs through the Ouachita Mountains from Talimena State Park in eastern Oklahoma to Pinnacle Mountain State Park near Little Rock, Arkansas. All but the eastern 30 miles travel through the Ouachita National Forest, the oldest and largest National Forest in the Southern United States.
Much of the route follows the ridges and crest lines of the Ouachita Mountains, providing outstanding views and a wilderness experience. The hiking trail avoids towns and heavily traveled roads, which can complicate resupply but results in a true sense of solitude.
